DisneyWorld Days 6-9

Day 6: Epcot The best show we saw was the Finding Nemo musical. It was amazingly well done. It was captivating, colorful and had great music. A must see at DisneyWorld. Tori's favorite ride of the whole trip was the Test Track in Epcot where you ride a car that they are "testing" for safety. I heard it is the fastest ride at the Disney parks. You go over a series of bumps, they subject the car to hot and cold, you turn corners, brake suddenly, and then go really fast on this circular track outside. The day we were there it smelled like maple syrup when you went outside. We still couldn't figure that out. Bruce had humans this day!


We had a princess dinner at Akerhuse in the Norway area. The girls met each of the princesses and loved it. I even got to sample a little Norwegian food.

Vikings in training!


We took a break again in the afternoon and returned to the hotel for another nap. In the evening we headed back to Epcot for the Illuminations show. No pictures of this one though because during the 15 mins. or so of the show I had to take 2 kids to the bathroom!



Day 7: Hollywood Picture Studios The Honey I Shrunk the kids play area was a favorite.
Beauty and the Beast show.
One of everyone's favorites was the Toy Story Mania ride. The Fast Pass line sold out of fast passes by 10:45 a.m. that day! Thank goodness for Ridemax!


What a great trip with so many fun memories! I've loved just looking at all the pictures again!


Suggestions if you're heading to DW in the near future:

1. Look up Ridemax.com and order a subscription. It's an on-line program that allows you to schedule the rides and shows you want to do and puts them in order so you have the least amount of wait time. The longest line for a ride was maybe 15-20 mins. Ben kept saying he had a testimony of Ridemax because time and time again we'd see huge lines later in the day and be glad we had done the ride early on.

2. Stay on park if you can. DW is so spread out it already takes a while to get around. It was super convenient to be somewhat close to things so we could take a break during the day.

3. Buy the dining plan and go to as many character meals as possible. You get all the signatures and meet everyone without having to wait in line!

Looks like you guys have had a blast. I think we should pretend we went together. We have a lot of the same picture. It's kinda funny
